More: Ruger is a 7 month cattle dog/Austrian shepherd rescue. He came from Alabama but found his forever home in Minnesota. He still has quite figured out what snow is, but absolutely loves it. Ruger is an energetic and highly intelligent puppy. He’s also, what we call, a “Velcro-dog.” He protects mom by following her, every. where. (Even into the bathroom). He loves his big sister, Mika (whose also entered into this), and his mom and dad. He is a big snuggle bug and makes sure he’s right on top of you to do so.
